In free society art is not a weapon. Artists are not enginee

Summary

This quote emphasizes that in a free society, art should not be used as a tool for manipulation or control. It suggests that artists should not be tasked with shaping or directing the thoughts and beliefs of individuals, like engineers who design and construct physical structures. Instead, art should be a form of expression and creativity that is free from ulterior motives, allowing individuals to interpret and appreciate it according to their own perspectives and experiences.

This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!

O, het is met de verte als met de toekomst! Een wijd, schemerachtig vergezicht ligt voor ons, onze ziel en onze ogen drinken het in, en wij haken ernaar ons er helemaal aan over te geven, om in alle gelukzaligheid van Ã©Ã©n groot, heerlijk gevoel te zijn vervuld. Maar och, als we erop afvliegen, dan is alles zoals tevoren en staan wij in onze armoede, in onze beperktheid, en onze ziel dorst naar ontglipte lafenis.
